NB PLEASE NOTE:
Ar mhaithe le hÁrachas, is gá go ndéanfar aon pháiste a bhíonn bailithe i rith uaireanta scoile a shíniú amach. Tá foirm ar fáil san oifig. Ní féidir aon eisceacht a dhéanamh. Ní gá iad a shíniú isteach arís;  ná i gcás páiste atá déanach is leor nóta ná glaoch gutháin.  Freisin, tá sé fíor-thábhactach go mbíonn sonraí teagmhála tuistí againn do gach páiste sa scoil.  
For Insurance reasons, any child collected from school within school hours MUST be signed out.  A form is available in the office.  No exceptions please.  If a relative or friend is collecting the child, please inform them of this rule.  There is no necessity to sign the child back in to school if they are returning from an appointment or if they are coming in late.  A note/phone call to explain delay is sufficient.   Also, it is imperative that the school has a contact number of a parent/guardian for each child, which is accessible at all times.  If you have changed/updated any of your contact details recently, please let Muireann in the school office know immediately, thank you.

NB AN CLÓS/PÁIRCEÁIL:
We ask again that parents take note of the car parking rules in place, to avoid injury and inconvenience to other drivers coming in behind.
Ar mhaithe le Sábháilteacht agus riaradh an carrchlóis, bheimis buíoch ach go dtabharfadh tuismitheoirí aird ar na nithe seo a leanas:
To ensure safety at all times in the car-park, we would ask parents to pay careful attention to the following points.
 

  1. Is córas aon-bhealach atá ann – casann tú ar chlé nuair a thagann tú isteach an geata.

A one-way system is in operation.  Turn left when you come in the gate.

  1. Tráthnóna: fág na spásanna taobh leis an gcosán saor dona busanna.

Afternoons – please leave car spaces beside the footpath free for buses.  This is very important for the safety of the children boarding buses.

  1. Ná stop in aon áit seachas spás pairceála chun do pháistí a scaoileadh amach; tá stopadh ag an mballa beag ag cur bac ar thrácht agus dona busanna.

It is not safe to stop anywhere other than in a parking space to let your child(ren) out of/into the car.  Also, stopping at the small wall in front of the school causes a backlog of traffic and prevents buses getting through.  Please be considerate of other drivers.

  • Chomh fada agus is féidir, ba choir do pháistí/tuistí an cosán a úsáid.
  • As far as is possible, please make use of the footpath.
  • Chabhródh sé le plódú ar maidin agus tráthnóna dá mbeadh daoine sásta síobanna a roinnt!
  • It would be extremely helpful to prevent congestion if “car-pooling” could be arranged among families who live close to one another.
  • an t-ádh linn go bhfuil Páirc Mitchell Curley-in aice láimhe, agus maor tráchta lena chinntiú go trasnaíonn daoine go sábháilte. Más féidir, bain úsáid as an áis seo chun páirceáil agus lig dona páistí siúl ar scoil, chun brú tráchta a sheachaint maidin agus tráthnóna araon. Go raibh maith agat.
  • We are fortunate to have Mitchell-Curley Park nearby, and a traffic warden to ensure safe crossing.  If possible, please use the facility to park, and have older children walk to/from the school to save congestion both in the mornings and afternoons. Thank you.
  • an taobh clé den charrchlós (taobh leis an bpáirc peile) in áirithe do pháirceáil foirne, agus bheimis buíoch as do chomhoibriú na spásanna anseo a fhágáil don fhoireann ar maidin.
  • The left side of the car park (beside football pitch) is reserved for staff parking, and we would appreciate your cooperation in leaving place for staff to park in the mornings.

Generally, we urge you to please drive with care and to come in the school gates at a slow speed. Also, you must follow the road around to the left to avoid accidents.  Míle Buíochas!
